The Old Crown, famous as Birmingham’s oldest pub, is celebrating its Birthday Weekender this Saturday and Sunday with a huge free party.
The pub is 656 years old and guests will have the chance to win £656 cash, by playing party games and battling it out with other teams at the venue.
The iconic venue is Birmingham’s oldest non-secular building, and has fought off attacks during the Civil War from Prince Rupert’s forces. It’s the only structure still standing after the Battle of Birmingham at Camp Hill in 1643.
Additionally, the pub has been host to royalty, with Queen Elizabeth I staying there on her way home from Kenilworth Castle in 1575.
The pub prides itself on celebrating its heritage, with many parts of the original building, including its black and white timber frame, still standing.
Free entry tickets to join this year’s celebrations are available to reserve now via Design My Night.
